Unfortunately, this test had to be disqualified for misleading information.
E.g:
– The answer to question "Why is it called coronavirus ?” is wrong. <= https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/COVID-19-role-community-health-workers.pdf
– The answer to question "What does the term "new coronavirus " mean?" is wrong. <= http://www.emro.who.int/health-topics/corona-virus/questions-and-answers.html
– The answer to question "The most unusual symptom of a coronavirus" is wrong. <= https://www.healthline.com/health-news/covid-19-losing-sense-of-smell & https://time.com/5837591/unusual-symptoms-of-coronavirus/.

The answer for question "Why is it called Coronavirus" and given answer is Because of spiny appendages seem inaccurate and wrong. I belief this is a mistake.

The true is it because of shaped like crown

👉🏿I think there is a need of more proof on when the vaccine will be available(since no one is capable of it, its when) Qn14
👉🏿Also Qn 18 being the continuation of Qn 17 i don't feel is the right choice(I think every qn could stand on its own)
👉🏿On Qn21 when will the quarantine be removed, i think we both don't know, it depend with the leadership and government of a certain country!! Since some country removed quarantine but still the infection is not done!🙏🙏

Good job however the reason why its called coronoa is because of crown like shape as depicted in the image you illustrated with. Also i noticed one typo 'ghe' instead of 'the'. Great job anyway

This was okay quiz.. However, the errors and typos were just too much.. Let's Begin

I would commend others for calling out the error in question 2..Its called 'Coronavirus' because of the crown-like structure of their surface. I would recommend reading this : https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/types.html

Secondly, the answer to question 3 is just wrong.. Infact I think there are two correct options.. It's called 'novel/new' Coronavirus because its a new 'Strain' of the family of Coronavirus which hitherto had not been 'encountered' or identified in humans.. I recommend reading this : http://www.emro.who.int/health-topics/corona-virus/questions-and-answers.html

We go over to question 5. ... You claimed that 'Loss of Smell and taste' is the most unusual symptom of coronavirus.. I would like to tell you that that is just wrong.. As a matter of fact, It is one of the commonest symptom in most coronavirus patients.. A study recently found that as many as two-thirds of coronavirus patients reported loss of Smell and taste prior to their diagnosis with coronavirus.. A research cited in this article below states that people who experience loss of smell or taste are 10 times mpre likely to be coronavirus positive. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/covid-19-losing-sense-of-smell
On the other hand, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues are said to come up only in a handful of coronavirus patients.. Multiple reputable sources have diarrhea listed as an Unusual symptom of coronavirus.. Read below

Finally question 6 claims that coronavirus patients become infectious/contagious or "dangerous to others" as you put it Immediately after exposure/infection to/with the virus—This is inaccurate... Coronavirus has an incubation period of about 14days or less after which early symptoms of the virus begin to arise...Several studies reveal that coronavirus patients actually become infectious 48hrs - 72hrs before the first symptom of the virus shows up.. Infact studies show patients are most infectious 2 days before they start to experience symptoms.. You can check these out
